UF’s a cappella community is known for hosting an annual Falala Capella concert, and this year’s concert was held by Tone Def on Tuesday night inside the Reitz Union Auditorium. The opening group, The Staff, UF’s all male a cappella group, started with the parody song “Enormous Penis (Sleigh Bells).” Other performances included coed a cappella groups Standing Room Only, No Southern Accent, Gestalt and all-female group The Sedoctaves. The show closed with Tone Def performing “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” to get into the holiday spirit.
